The stadium lies on the grounds of Camp Randall, a former Union Army training camp during the Civil War, the camp was named after then Governor Alexander Randall, who later became Postmaster General of the United States. After an outcry from veterans over plans to turn the site into building lots, soon afterward, it was pressed into service as an athletic ground. It was originally used by the track and field team before the football and baseball teams moved there in 1895, however, the wooden bleachers were very difficult to maintain, and a portion of them were actually condemned as unsafe in 1914. The university then asked for $40,000 to build a concrete-and-steel stadium, however, after three sections of bleachers collapsed during a 1915 game, the state readily granted the additional money. The new stadium opened for the first time on October 6,1917 and it consisted of 7,500 concrete seats—roughly corresponding to the lower portion of the current stadiums east grandstand—and 3,000 wooden seats from the old field. After the wooden seats burned down in 1922, more permanent seats were added in stages until it consisted of an opening to the south, with a running track around the field. Originally natural grass, the field was one of the first in the United States to convert to artificial turf in 1968, superturf was installed in 1980, and a new AstroTurf field was installed in 1990, and replaced in 1998. A new type of grass, infilled FieldTurf, was installed for the 2003 season. The stadium also houses offices of the university. In 2002, a reconstruction project commenced, which added luxury boxes, a five-story office building. In addition, concessions, restrooms and other items were upgraded, the walkway around the field was removed. The construction was completed prior to the start of the 2004 season, the football team continued to play at the stadium throughout the construction.

Central Time Zone
–
The North American Central Time Zone is a time zone in parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, some Caribbean Islands, and part of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Central Standard Time is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time, during summer most of the zone uses daylight saving time, and changes to Central Daylight Time which is five hours behind UTC. The province of Manitoba is the province or territory in Canada that observes Central Time in all areas. Also, most of the province of Saskatchewan is on Central Standard Time year-round, major exceptions include Lloydminster, a city situated on the boundary between Alberta and Saskatchewan. The city charter stipulates that it shall observe Mountain Time and DST, putting the community on the time as all of Alberta, including the major cities of Calgary. As a result, during the summer, clocks in the province match those in Alberta. The Central Time Zone is the second most populous in the US after the Eastern Time Zone, lanett and Valley observe Eastern Time historically because they were textile mill towns and the original home office of their mills was in West Point, Georgia. Some eastern counties observe Central Time because they are close to the border of the Middle Tennessee counties surrounding the Nashville metropolitan area. Louisiana Michigan, All of Michigan observes Eastern Time except the four Upper Peninsula counties that border Wisconsin, other westernmost counties from this area such as Ontonagon observe Eastern Time. South Dakota, Eastern half as divided by the Missouri river adjacent to the state capital, note, the metropolitan area of Pierre is Central, including Fort Pierre. Wisconsin Most of Mexico—roughly the eastern three-fourths—lies in the Central Time Zone, except for six northwestern states, the federal entities of Mexico that observe Central Time, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua all use Central Standard Time year-round. The Galápagos Islands in Ecuador uses Central Standard Time all year-round, Daylight saving time is in effect in much of the Central time zone between mid-March and early November. The modified time is called Central Daylight Time and is UTC−5, in Canada, Saskatchewan does not observe a time change. One reason that Saskatchewan does not take part in a change is that, geographically. The province elected to move onto permanent daylight saving by being part of the Central Time Zone, Mexico decided not to go along with this change and observes their horario de verano from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. In December 2009, the Mexican Congress allowed ten border cities, eight of which are in states that observe Central Time, to adopt the U. S. daylight time schedule effective in 2010

After that, the replaced the live badger with a live raccoon named Regdab. In 1948, a UW-Madison art student, Connie Conrad was asked to create a paper-mache Bucky head-piece, a UW-Madison Gymnast and cheerleader, Bill Sagal, wore the outfit at the homecoming game and a contest was started to properly name the mascot. The winning entry was Buckingham U, Bucky has been maintained over the years, even surviving a threat by the assistant attorney general, Howard Koop, who suggested that Bucky be replaced by Henrietta Holstein, a loveable cow.

University of Wisconsin Marching Band
–
The University of Wisconsin Marching Band is the marching band for the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It was formed in the fall of 1885 to support the military battalion, today, it has grown to about 300 members and performs at all Badger home football games. The University of Wisconsin Marching Band was created in 1885 as the Wisconsin Regimental Band, the first band consisted of 11 members, with two or three more joining before the year ended. It was not until 1894 that the 26 members of the University Band began playing at football games, in September 1928, it was announced that all football engagements would be handled by 100 men, to relieve the strain from concert performers. This was the beginning of the current band, under Edson W. Morphy, the Second Band became more active with athletic department events. In 1934, the band gained a new director, Raymond F. Dvorak, Dvorak changed the band in many ways, including expanding it to 120 marchers, introducing new steps, creating the run-on entrance to the pre-game, and developing animated formations. He also introduced the tradition during the singing of Wisconsins alma mater. When the Badger football team qualified for the 1963 Rose Bowl, lacking time to order and manufacture new uniforms, the band wore white duck pants for the Rose Parade, causing at least one wag to call them Salvation Army milkmen. The fall of 1963 saw the introduction of cardinal and white uniforms that have characterized the bands ever since. In the 1960s, Dvorak hired James Christenson as a conductor and he eventually moved on to a career with Disney. In 1969, the band hired a successor to Dvorak, Mike Leckrone, Leckrone expanded the marching bands membership and popularity during the Vietnam War era, a time when the bands connotative association with the military had become unpopular among some students. Women were first eligible to join the band in 1974. Leckrone introduced a physically demanding style of marching and playing, which required much more athleticism, Leckrones band played a repertoire of Badger songs and tunes, creatively arranging and weaving them into field-show programming. Their 1812 Overture morphs into On Wisconsin before the very ears of the crowd, during Leckrones first decades, the Badger marching band was on the ascendancy as the football team was in decline, mired near the bottom of the Big Ten. Half-time shows maintained interest in the Saturday afternoon festivities, and the fifth quarter performances kept fans in the stands after the games ended. At the end of August returning and prospective band members attend Welcome or Registration Week, Reg-Week teaches prospective members the fundamentals of the bands marching style and serves as a period of physical conditioning. A highlight of Reg-Week is the countdowns, where members march out, every potential member also must perform a short music-only audition for the director. Membership is not guaranteed for returning members in order to ensure that everyone works to the best of his or her ability, the University of Wisconsin Marching Band is composed of about 300 members and divided into 28 ranks
